'It's Not Shameful': Selena Gomez Responds to Criticism After Saying She Can't Carry a Baby on Her Own

Selena Gomez has responded to the haters who criticized her after she publicly announced that she would not be able to carry a child on her own. While many supported the singer, there were also those who accused her of trying to attract attention and elicit pity from the public. According to these people, such personal problems should not be announced publicly.

Gomez spoke about this at the Women in Film event, where she attended with her younger sister Gracie. “I truly believe that there is power in being vulnerable and telling people that you need help. There is no shame in that. So, yes, I told them I couldn’t carry a child. I told them I was bipolar. Back off!” the singer and actress said.

She explained that she tries to be honest because she wants to be an example to other women, because everyone in this world is “going through something,” and it’s important to know that you’re not alone. According to Selena, she’s just as confused as everyone else and doesn’t have all the answers. “I’m just who I am, that’s all,” she said, adding, addressing her sister, that “you should never let other people call you a bad person.” “F**k anyone who calls us victims. In my mind, we’re winners,” she concluded.

Selena admitted that she is going to become a mother, but will not be able to carry a child herself due to health problems, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. In a conversation with the publication, she also spoke about her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco, who, according to rumors, proposed to her. According to Selena, she has never been happier than after meeting Benny. Apparently, that is why she so ardently defends her lover from haters, and Blanco has many of them - many Internet users believe that he is not good enough for Gomez.

It should be noted that Selena is criticized not only because of her frankness, but also because, in the opinion of many, she does not take care of the very health problems with which she often talks. For example, she was recently suspected of using a vape.
